T h e board considered the following item of business. Litigation Initiated by James Mauck, d / b / a Graphic Services (26) A complaint has been filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, (Case No. 80 L 22900) by James Mauck, doing business as Graphic Services, seeking damages in the amount of $53,456.50 from the University on the basis of an alleged termination of a procurement contract by the University. The complaint alleges that in November 1979 the plaintiff submitted to the University a bid to supply certain patient statement forms to be used at the University of Illinois Hospital and in January 1980 was awarded a contract therefor. (The complaint incorrectly designates the total price to be $530,456.50 but the bid and contract documents attached to the complaint correctly identify the amount of award as $53,456.50.) I t is alleged that the plaintiff incurred substantial expenses in preparation for the performance of the contract but was advised by University representatives that the contract was terminated. The fact of termination is in issue, as is the timeliness of the plaintiff's performance. T h e university counsel has recommended that he be authorized to take such steps as are necessary or appropriate, including the employment of special counsel, to protect the interests of the University in this matter and to defend the action. I concur. O n motion of Mr. Lenz, authority was given as recommended by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Stone; no, none; absent, Mr. Neal, Governor Thompson, Mr. Velasquez. ( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Maltese, Mr. Peterson; no, none; absent, Mr. Silverman.) There being no further business, the board adjourned. EARL W. PORTER WILLIAM D . F O R S Y T H , J R . Secretary President
